Abstract
Although the studies above have been in general empirically successful, policy makers continue to require additional information which will allow them to support and implement programs for the prevention and control of crime. One important issue has to do with the question of crime and regional economic growth. Is crime in some sense an externality of regional growth? Do population growth and technological change cause increases in the number and rate of criminal events?
